Welcome to the third fantasy story based on my obsession with actor Colin Firth.  Please be aware that the story, while dallying in romantic encounters is not sexually explicit.  However some parts do leave one's imagination open to play. All names of characters in this story are living persons used with their permission excepting The Firths, Eric Fellner, Tim Bevan, Kenneth Branagh and Neill MacColl. The Fan Club, movie and photos are non existent and were designed for the stories only. All of the places visited, toured or stayed at are real and exist.  (I do have a tattoo; just not the one in the stories, I do not have one of his shirts or his address, nor have I ever had an email.)  My car is real and I have ordered the vanity plates. Thank You.
